Babolat Pickleball Paddle Striker Pro 26

The Babolat STRIKER PRO is a performance pickleball paddle designed for advanced and competitive players who want to play offense, speed up the game and take control of the rally. It's made for players who aren't afraid to attack — hitting powerful drives, using spin and finishing points under pressure, even from difficult positions.

The elongated shape extends your reach and creates natural leverage through the swing. In practice that means more energy at contact, better reach on tough balls and greater potential on attacking finishes. The 13 mm thickness delivers a lively, explosive and highly responsive feel that supports quick ball acceleration and aggressive play.

The raw woven kevlar hitting surface provides firm, stable and precise ball contact. It's designed to generate strong spin while keeping good touch at impact — topspin for deep, aggressive drives and sharp angles, and slice or backspin to change the pace of the rally and keep the ball low. RPM PureWeave technology supports a consistent surface texture and reliable spin production, turning spin into a real weapon for both attacking and control play.

The Gen 3 edgeless construction brings a modern borderless design that extends ball dwell time and improves the responsive feel at contact. Combined with the one-piece MonoMolded DuraTech build, the paddle is made for higher durability and intensive play at a performance level. The Perimeter Stability System uses internal weighting at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions, increasing torsional stability, widening the sweet spot and keeping a solid feel even on off-center hits. The PF – Perfect Feel Handle, inspired by Babolat tennis racquets, offers a natural hand-to-paddle connection, and its 5.5" length gives extra room for a secure grip — well suited to players who use a two-handed backhand.
